Here’s a quick and dirty Exchange 2007 command-let that will output all the outgoing emails that are not being delivered. It Checks the message status (NOT “Active) and the message retry count (GT 0) and outputs the results. Get-Message -Server SERVER01 -IncludeRecipientInfo | Where{$_.RetryCount -gt 0} | Where{$_.Status -ne “Active”} | SELECT FromAddress, Recipients, LastError [...]

Here is s nifty script I chucked together that will prompt for a user name, configure the required permissions and then export the users mailbox to a PST file. All you need to do is change the $TargetArchiveDir location to the folder you wish to save the PST’s to. I’d suggest using a file share [...]

Man! I’m killing these powershell scripts today – and they’ve all been related to alerting/reporting via email. If you’ve missed my two other posts – there is a mailbox size report (http://mattlog.net/2009/03/12/auto-email-exchange-2007-mailbox-report/) and a StorageGroupCopyStatus report (http://mattlog.net/2009/03/12/auto-email-exchange-2007-storagegroupcopystatus/) This one is a little more useful. Basically, this PowerShell script checks the SummaryCopyStatus and checks that it’s [...]

Exchange 2007′s Storage Group Copy feature is one of my favourites, however the one area it is really lacking is the reporting. You need to manually run the Get-StorageGroupCopyStatus -Server INITIALSERVER -StandbyMachine TARGETSERVER to find that your SCR is Healthy.

Hi all. I’ve written this simple PowerShell script to output your user mailboxes, their total size and the item count – the script will then email the output to a specified account in a pretty HTML table format. Feel free to download the .ps1 file and run it as you wish. Remember that you need [...]

If your having intermittent DSN errors returning to your users with the message “mail.someremoteserver.com #500 Firewall Error##” I’ve found the the error is actually due to your local Cisco router/firewall. It seems that some Cisco routers and IOS versions that use the ip inspect command on the outgoing interface have problems with the newer Exchange [...]

If your email messages are not being delivered – just sitting in the Outbox, it could be due to 2007 resource monitor pausing the delivery due to “insufficient resources” You can check to see if your server is showing these symptoms by TELNETTing to the localhost on port 25 and attempting to manually deliver a [...]
